I've never had a complaint about a pickup truck that got over 30 mpg.

If you dropped a 6.2 or 6.5 you could be getting 25-30 on the highway and they swap out with a small-block- no adapters. it's not going to be a race truck The new AM general engines are supposed to be putting out around 300 horses I've got a couple of them old 5.7 diesels. they run about like a...

I'll tell you what I know about big rig diesels from the best shops it's tuning On a diesel turning up the power a significant amount requires: more compressor on the turbo retarding the timing increasing the fuel adding a more efficient turbo. many after market turbos for big rigs use the...

305 4 barrel heads are the best flowers

you could throw a set of 305 vortec heads on there with a tuned port injection setup!

Throw a set of 283 power pack heads on there and you will keep good compression and need a 4 barrel. or you can have 194's put into the 307 heads. the ports themselves are not bad. The 307 is basically a 283 stroked with a 327 crank The 305 has a smaller bore with a 350 crank so a good set of...

With the small valves the engine is going to run out of wind at about 4,000 to 4500 rpm so worrying about over revving is not much of an issue if you use the ARP rod bolts Anyone driving it will feel the power drop off and there will be no incentive to push it harder What your going to be doing...

tighter lobe center yeilds greater overlap Overlap allows the exiting exhaust to impart momentum to the intake charge by drawing it down and out the exhaust before the exhaust valve closes. When the exhaust valve closes the intake charge stacks up in the cylinder under pressure before the intake...

get the rods rebuilt with ARP rod bolts. As long as it has oil in the pan it won't throw a rod for at least 6k rpm. Teach her about how you don't need to rev beyond the bottom of the next gear's powerband to pick up the next gear... usually no more than 3500-4000 rpm if your really beating on it.

z not sure flipper. I just picked a lobe and measured it's rise with a cheepy caliper using the thingy on the end and multiplied by 1.5 I wasn't intending to get an accurate reading was just curious what the approximate stock lift was.

You just missed out... There was a GM variant 833 Chrysler overdrive 4 speed on CL in Omaha for $800. it's snatched up now. there's a corvette doug nash tranny on CL in Omaha and a guy with about a dozen rebuilt muncies.

you did over pay lol it's probably a $250-$400 tranny like saginaw Check your input shaft and front retainer. It might be an all ford weener t10 or someone might have mixed a GM input and bearing retainer with a ford output to put a gm engine in a ford

23 spline is ford t-10 from a ford forum " Ford had two versions of the T10, the early model, pre 64 and the 64-65 T10. The pre 64 Ford T10 will have the weaker 23 spline output shaft, the 64-65 Ford T10 will have the stronger 28 spline output shaft. This is about all I know about them other...

Yeah wierd t-10 is supposed to have a turbo 400 output shaft not interchangeable with muncie and saginaw i'm probably thinking super t-10 cuz I had 2nd gen firebirds for reference

I ran a ford 4.6 from 186k miles to 194k miles with timing chains grinding into the adjusters with no damage to the rest of the engine simply changing the oil filter when the oil got "sparkley" it's not good advice on a new motor but it's good advice on a bad motor

I put a big glob of hi temp wheel bearing grease (red not moly) on the lifters when I put them down the hole for cam break in I adjust the valves on the engine stand I put the dizzy in hook up a spark plug on #1 and battery charger to the hot and with the crank on the timing mark rotate the...

I had an 82 half ton chevy van It had a 350 I thought my cam went flat so I ordered a 268h comp cams kit on disassembly it turned out I merely had some bad rocker nuts that had backed off I installed he cam anyways I noticed ZERO difference between it and the stock cam in the GM Target tmaster...

I just installed a stock 400 from a 1977 G30 in my dually. The 350 that overheated had the Edelbrock performer rpm it got 12 mpg city and highway but you put another truck in the tow dolly and it dropped to less than 4 mpg although it had bookoo power The 400 i don;t know the specs but...
